Life Unscripted Photography ~ Your Life Is Art

My name is Melissa and I am the owner and photographer for Life Unscripted Photography located in Troy, MI.  I am an On Location Photographer providing Custom Portrait Art to clients located in many areas.  Primarily, Oakland County and the Greater Metro Detroit area.

Whether it is in the comfort of your own home or location of your choosing, our session together will be relaxed, enjoyable and stress free.  I love photographing smiles to frowns and everything in between.  The simplest moments are beautiful and worth capturing.  It is my goal to provide portraits that capture the spirit and true personality. 

Your life is art.  Cherish it.  Celebrate it.  Document it.  

Downtown Beauties

Wow, I really had a blast shooting these lovely ladies downtown!  I love this time of year where we have the flexibility of shooting outside in the fresh air with edgy, interesting, and beautiful backdrops.  I have so many keepers from this session that I am certain to post again once I am finished editing.  In the meantime, here are 4 to enjoy!

Snugle Bug

Ahhh, so snugly and sweet!  I had a chance to tag along on a newborn session with a good photographer friend of mine and fell in love with this image of this little guy.  I am really loving the natural light style of shooting along with squishy, snuggly, curled up sleeping babies.  I am looking for newborn baby models that are 10 days old or less to try out some of my new creative concepts and natural light photography.  If you or someone you know is having a baby and open to trying new concepts with me, drop me a line!   Session fee will be waived for this non-traditional session!

Role Reversal

It isn’t often that I find myself on the other side of the lens.  I have to admit, I was nervously awaiting the arrival of my new head shot from fellow photographer Julie Lowry.  Those of you who know me know that I am not a fan of getting my own picture taken - lol.  Julie did such a fantastic job and I am thrilled with my new portrait!  To check out her incredible work visit her at www.chanterellephotography.com.  She is truly amazing.

Twin Goodness

Ahhh, the only thing sweeter than a newborn baby is TWO newborn babies!  And a beautiful big sis.  I had a great time shooting this family.  The babies were pure sweetness and were angels the entire session.   Here are a few from the session. 35111214161

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t - you are right.”

~ Henry Ford

Sometimes, we get boxed in by our own fear of failure or by our desire to stay in our comfort zone.    I am pretty darn comfy hanging out with babies, kids, and families, however, often thought about branching out a bit.  I had the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and learn a thing or two about shooting adults and couples this past week.  I had a great time and think I did okay, however, i’ll let you be the judge….proof-8729-spunky-49
